Sun Identity Manager 8.1 Resources Reference

Checking Password History

To check the password history for an Active Directory account when an end-user changes his or her password, the user must provide an AD password. You can enable this feature on an AD resource by clicking the User Provides Password On Change checkbox on the Resource Parameters page and adding the WS_USER_PASSWORD attribute to the account attributes with type encrypted. WS_USER_PASSWORD must be added as a Identity Manager User Attribute and as a Resource User Attribute.
